参照图1,提出本发明扫地机器人的扫地方法一实施例,所述方法包括以下步骤:Referring to FIG. 1, an embodiment of a method for sweeping a cleaning robot of the present invention is proposed. The method includes the following steps:
S11、在扫地过程中,检测目标区域是否有残留垃圾。当目标区域有残留垃圾时,进入下一步骤S12。S11. During the sweeping process, check whether there is residual garbage in the target area. When there is residual garbage in the target area, the process proceeds to the next step S12.
S12、对目标区域进行再清扫处理。S12. Perform a re-cleaning process on the target area.
步骤S11中,扫地机器人在扫地过程中,实时或定时的检测目标区域是否有残留垃圾,所述目标区域主要指已经清扫过的区域,尤其是刚清扫过的区域,如扫地机器人后部所覆盖的地面区域。In step S11, the sweeping robot detects whether there is residual garbage in the target area in real time or timing during the sweeping process. The target area mainly refers to the area that has been cleaned, especially the newly cleaned area, such as the back of the sweeping robot. Ground area.
如图2所示,本发明实施例中,扫地机器人检测目标区域是否有残留垃圾的具体流程如下:As shown in FIG. 2, in the embodiment of the present invention, the specific process of the cleaning robot detecting whether there is residual garbage in the target area is as follows:
S111、通过激光发射装置发射激光。S111. A laser is emitted by a laser emitting device.
S112、通过激光接收装置接收激光。S112. Receive laser light through a laser receiving device.
S113、判断激光接收装置接收到的激光点数是否小于或等于阈值。当激光接收装置接收到的激光点数小于或等于阈值时,进入步骤S114;当激光接收装置接收到的激光点数大于阈值时,进入步骤S115。S113. Determine whether the number of laser points received by the laser receiving device is less than or equal to a threshold. When the number of laser spots received by the laser receiving device is less than or equal to the threshold, the process proceeds to step S114; when the number of laser spots received by the laser receiving device is greater than the threshold, the process proceeds to step S115.
S114、判决目标区域有残留垃圾。S114. There is residual garbage in the target area of the judgment.
S115、判决目标区域没有残留垃圾。S115. There is no residual garbage in the target area.
本发明实施例中,为扫地机器人增设了激光发射装置和激光接收装置,且二者相对设置于扫地机器人的底部,其中,激光发射装置用于发射激光,激光接收装置用于接收激光发射装置发射的激光。当激光发射装置向激光接收装置方向投射激光时,如果二者之间有垃圾,部分激光就会被垃圾发射回去,无法到达激光接收装置,据此就可以检测地面上的垃圾残留情况。In the embodiment of the present invention, a laser emitting device and a laser receiving device are added to the cleaning robot, and the two are oppositely disposed at the bottom of the cleaning robot, wherein the laser emitting device is used for emitting laser light, and the laser receiving device is configured to receive the laser emitting device for transmitting Laser. When the laser emitting device projects the laser light toward the laser receiving device, if there is garbage between the two, part of the laser light will be emitted back by the garbage, and the laser receiving device cannot be reached, thereby detecting the residual garbage on the ground.
如图3所示,扫地机器人包括两个驱动轮300,激光发射装置100和激光接收装置200安装于扫地机器人的驱动轮300的后方,作为优选,激光发射装置100和激光接收装置200分别对应安装于一个驱动轮300的后方,以尽量扩大检测范围,检测扫地机器人左右两侧之间是否有垃圾。As shown in FIG. 3, the cleaning robot includes two driving wheels 300, and the laser emitting device 100 and the laser receiving device 200 are mounted behind the driving wheel 300 of the cleaning robot. Preferably, the laser emitting device 100 and the laser receiving device 200 are respectively mounted. At the rear of a driving wheel 300, the detection range is maximized to detect whether there is garbage between the left and right sides of the cleaning robot.
为了提高垃圾检测的准确性,防止遗漏体积较小的垃圾,激光发射装置100和激光接收装置200尽量贴近地面,但又要防止被磕碰或误判,因此激光发射装置100和激光接收装置200离地面的距离优选为0.2-0.5厘米。In order to improve the accuracy of the garbage detection and prevent the leakage of the small-sized garbage, the laser emitting device 100 and the laser receiving device 200 are as close as possible to the ground, but are prevented from being bumped or misjudged, so that the laser emitting device 100 and the laser receiving device 200 are separated from each other. The distance from the ground is preferably from 0.2 to 0.5 cm.
激光接收装置可以选择感光元件,如CCD(Charge Coupled Device,感光耦合元件)、CMOS(Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor,互补性氧化金属半导体)等,本发明实施例优选CCD。CCD是一种集成电路,其上有许多排列整齐的电容,能够感应光线。The laser receiving device can select a photosensitive element such as a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) or a CMOS (Complementary) Metal-Oxide Semiconductor, a complementary oxidized metal semiconductor, etc., is preferably a CCD in the embodiment of the present invention. A CCD is an integrated circuit that has a number of neatly arranged capacitors that sense light.
步骤S111中,扫地机器人在清扫过程中,实时或定时的控制激光发射装置发射激光。In step S111, the sweeping robot controls the laser emitting device to emit laser light in real time or timing during the cleaning process.
步骤S112中,在激光发射装置发射激光的同时,扫地机器人通过激光接收装置接收激光。In step S112, while the laser emitting device emits the laser light, the cleaning robot receives the laser light through the laser receiving device.
步骤S113中,扫地机器人实时或定时的统计激光接收装置接收到的激光点的数量,比较激光接收装置接收到的激光点数(激光点的数量)与阈值的大小,判断激光接收装置接收到的激光点数是否小于或等于阈值。In step S113, the cleaning robot receives the number of laser spots received by the laser receiving device in real time or at a time, compares the number of laser spots (the number of laser spots) received by the laser receiving device with the threshold value, and determines the laser received by the laser receiving device. Whether the number of points is less than or equal to the threshold.
当激光发射装置和激光接收装置之间完全没有障碍物时,激光接收装置可以接收到预设数量的激光点,当有障碍物时,激光接收装置接收到的激光点的数量就会减少。When there is no obstacle between the laser emitting device and the laser receiving device, the laser receiving device can receive a preset number of laser spots, and when there is an obstacle, the number of laser spots received by the laser receiving device is reduced.
因此,步骤S114中,当激光接收装置接收到的激光点数小于或等于阈值时,扫地机器人则认定激光发射装置与激光接收装置之间有障碍物,判决目标区域有残留垃圾。步骤S115中,当激光接收装置接收到的激光点数大于阈值时,扫地机器人则认定激光发射装置与激光接收装置之间没有障碍物,判决目标区域没有残留垃圾。Therefore, in step S114, when the number of laser spots received by the laser receiving device is less than or equal to the threshold value, the cleaning robot determines that there is an obstacle between the laser emitting device and the laser receiving device, and determines that the target area has residual garbage. In step S115, when the number of laser spots received by the laser receiving device is greater than the threshold value, the cleaning robot determines that there is no obstacle between the laser emitting device and the laser receiving device, and determines that there is no residual garbage in the target area.
前述阈值可以根据实际需要和经验值确定,既要防止漏检,又要防止误判,以保证检测的准确性。The aforementioned threshold value can be determined according to actual needs and experience values, and it is necessary to prevent missed detection and prevent misjudgment to ensure the accuracy of detection.
在另一些实施例中,也可以在扫地机器人的底部设置一超声波探测器,优选设置于扫地机的驱动轮后方的一侧,该超声波探测器包括发射探头和接收探头。扫地机器人通过超声波探测器的发射探头发射超声波,通过超声波探测器的接收探头接收超声波反射回来的回波。如果扫地机器人的底部有残留垃圾,超声波就会被残留垃圾反射回来,超声波探测器就能很快接收到回波,因此,扫地机器人判断超声波探测器是否在发射超声波后的预设时间内接收到回波,若是,则判决目标区域内有残留垃圾。前述预设时间可以根据实际需要和经验值确定,既要防止漏检,又要防止误判,以保证检测的准确性。In other embodiments, an ultrasonic probe may also be disposed at the bottom of the sweeping robot, preferably disposed on the side behind the drive wheel of the sweeper, the ultrasonic probe including the launch probe and the receive probe. The sweeping robot transmits ultrasonic waves through the transmitting probe of the ultrasonic probe, and receives echoes reflected by the ultrasonic waves through the receiving probe of the ultrasonic probe. If there is residual garbage at the bottom of the sweeping robot, the ultrasonic waves will be reflected back by the residual garbage, and the ultrasonic detector can receive the echo quickly. Therefore, the sweeping robot determines whether the ultrasonic probe is received within the preset time after the ultrasonic wave is transmitted. Echo, if it is, it is judged that there is residual garbage in the target area. The aforementioned preset time can be determined according to actual needs and experience values, and it is necessary to prevent missed detection and prevent misjudgment to ensure the accuracy of detection.
为了提高垃圾检测的准确性,防止遗漏体积较小的垃圾,超声波探测器尽量贴近地面,但又要防止被磕碰或误判,因此超声波探测器离地面的距离优选为0.2-0.5厘米。In order to improve the accuracy of garbage detection and prevent the leakage of small-sized garbage, the ultrasonic detector should be close to the ground as much as possible, but it must be prevented from being bumped or misjudged. Therefore, the distance between the ultrasonic detector and the ground is preferably 0.2-0.5 cm.
还有一些实施例中,还可以在扫地机器人的底部设置一激光探测器,优选设置于扫地机的驱动轮后方的一侧,该激光探测器包括发射探头和接收探头。扫地机器人通过激光探测器的发射探头发射激光,通过激光探测器的接收探头接收反射回来的激光。如果扫地机器人的底部有残留垃圾,激光就会被残留垃圾反射回来,激光探测器就能很快接收到激光,因此,扫地机器人判断激光探测器是否在发射激光后的预设时间内接收到反射回来的激光,若是,则判决目标区域内有残留垃圾。前述预设时间可以根据实际需要和经验值确定,既要防止漏检,又要防止误判,以保证检测的准确性。In still other embodiments, a laser detector may be disposed at the bottom of the sweeping robot, preferably disposed on a side behind the drive wheel of the sweeper, the laser probe including a launch probe and a receive probe. The sweeping robot emits laser light through the launching probe of the laser detector, and receives the reflected laser light through the receiving probe of the laser detector. If there is residual garbage at the bottom of the sweeping robot, the laser will be reflected back by the residual garbage, and the laser detector can receive the laser quickly. Therefore, the sweeping robot judges whether the laser detector receives the reflection within the preset time after the laser is emitted. The laser that came back, if it is, will have residual rubbish in the target area. The aforementioned preset time can be determined according to actual needs and experience values, and it is necessary to prevent missed detection and prevent misjudgment to ensure the accuracy of detection.
为了提高垃圾检测的准确性,防止遗漏体积较小的垃圾,激光探测器尽量贴近地面,但又要防止被磕碰或误判,因此激光探测器离地面的距离优选为0.2-0.5厘米。In order to improve the accuracy of garbage detection and prevent the leakage of small-sized garbage, the laser detector should be as close to the ground as possible, but it must be prevented from being bumped or misjudged. Therefore, the distance of the laser detector from the ground is preferably 0.2-0.5 cm.
本领域技术人员可以理解,扫地机器人还可以采用现有技术中的其它探测器等装置来检测残留垃圾,本发明在此不再一一列举赘述。It can be understood by those skilled in the art that the cleaning robot can also detect residual garbage by using other detectors and the like in the prior art, and the present invention will not be repeated here.
步骤S12中,当检测到目标区域有残留垃圾时,扫地机器人就可以对有残留垃圾的区域进行再清扫处理,直到所有的区域都清扫干净为止,从而提高扫地机器人的清洁效果。In step S12, when it is detected that there is residual garbage in the target area, the cleaning robot can perform the cleaning process on the area with the residual garbage until all the areas are cleaned, thereby improving the cleaning effect of the cleaning robot.
本发明实施例中,当检测到某个区域有残留垃圾时,扫地机器人则在定位地图上将目标区域标记为有残留垃圾的区域,但不中断正常的清扫进度,继续保持预定的清扫路线进行清扫以及在清扫过程中继续进行垃圾检测,直到本轮清扫完毕为止。当完成本轮清扫后,扫地机器人则根据定位地图上的标记情况,再次清扫有残留垃圾的区域。当有残留垃圾的区域至少有两个时,扫地机器人则根据当前位置进行清扫路线规划,根据规划好的清扫路线依次清扫地图上标记的有残留垃圾的区域,在清扫过程中同时继续进行垃圾检测。如此循环往复,直到所有的区域都清扫干净为止。In the embodiment of the present invention, when it is detected that there is residual garbage in a certain area, the cleaning robot marks the target area as an area with residual garbage on the positioning map, but does not interrupt the normal cleaning progress, and continues to maintain the predetermined cleaning route. Sweep and continue the garbage inspection during the cleaning process until the current round is completed. After the current round of cleaning, the sweeping robot cleans the area with residual rubbish again according to the marking on the positioning map. When there are at least two areas with residual garbage, the sweeping robot plans the cleaning route according to the current position, and sequentially cleans the area marked with residual garbage on the map according to the planned cleaning route, and continues the garbage detection during the cleaning process. . This cycle is repeated until all areas are cleaned.
在另一些实施例中,当检测到某个区域有残留垃圾时,扫地机器人则及时中止正常的清扫进度,立即重新清扫目标区域,清扫完毕后再继续执行正常的清扫进度,如此边清扫边检测边再清扫,当本轮清扫完毕时,则所有的区域都已清扫干净。In other embodiments, when it is detected that there is residual garbage in a certain area, the cleaning robot stops the normal cleaning progress in time, immediately re-cleans the target area, and then continues to perform the normal cleaning progress after the cleaning is completed, so that the cleaning side is detected. After cleaning, when the cleaning is completed, all the areas have been cleaned.
本发明实施例的扫地机器人的扫地方法,通过在扫地过程中检测目标区域是否有残留垃圾,当目标区域有残留垃圾时,则对目标区域进行再清扫处理,从而保证地面上不残留任何垃圾,能将地面彻底清扫干净,提高了扫地机器人的清洁效果,省去了用户手动二次清扫的过程,提升了用户体验。The method for sweeping the cleaning robot of the embodiment of the present invention detects whether there is residual garbage in the target area during the sweeping process, and when there is residual garbage in the target area, the target area is re-cleaned to ensure that no garbage remains on the ground. The ground can be thoroughly cleaned, the cleaning effect of the sweeping robot is improved, the user's manual secondary cleaning process is eliminated, and the user experience is improved.
